Schirripa-Digital Dances No. 3 (SP)-4M

Digital Dances No. 3 by Marco Schirripa is the third in a series of marimba quartets based heavily on video game and electronic dance music. The constant driving pulse and changing meters keep the excitement to the very end. The work is scored for either quartet or quintet, for groups of varying ability, and may be performed on only 3 instruments, if necessary.

Number of players: 4-5
Difficulty: Intermediate/advanced

Instrumentation

Player 1: Marimba 1 (4 octave) [can be shared w/ Mar. 4]
Player 2: Marimba 2 (4.3 octave)[can be shared w/ Mar 4a]
Player 3: Marimba 3 (4.3 octave)[opt. notes for 5.0-octave]
Player 4: Marimba 4 (5 octave)*

*Also included are parts for Marimba 4a and 4b, which turns this into a quintet.

Marimba 4a & 4b replace Marimba 4 and require a 5.0-octave instrument.
